Revenues for the company's fastest growing division, Scripps Networks,
were up 31 percent to $54.0 million. Advertising revenues during the month at
Scripps Networks were up 33 percent and affiliate fee revenues increased
22 percent. Scripps Networks includes the company's portfolio of national
cable and satellite television networks, including Home & Garden Television,
Food Network, Fine Living and DIY -- Do It Yourself Network.

HGTV was available in about 84 million homes during November and Food
Network reached about 83 million homes. DIY can be seen in about 24 million
homes and Fine Living reaches about 20 million homes.

November revenues at the company's newspapers were up 5.5 percent year-
over-year to $66.1 million. There was one additional Sunday during the month
compared to the same year-ago period, which is reflected in the year-over-year
revenue comparison for newspapers. Sunday traditionally is an important
advertising day for newspapers.

Newspaper advertising revenues for the month, broken down by category,
were:

The company's share of profits from its four joint newspaper operations,
before editorial costs, was $9.8 million, up $1.4 million from November 2002.

At the company's 10 broadcast television stations, revenues for the month
were $28.3 million, down 7.2 percent from November 2002. Broadcast television
revenues reflect the relative absence of political advertising this year
versus last. Political advertising for November was about $300,000 compared to
$4.8 million for the month in 2002. Local broadcast television advertising was
up 5 percent to $16.6 million and national advertising was up 15 percent to
$10.1 million.

November revenues at the Shop At Home Network were down 2.9 percent to
$19.0 million. Because of a decision to change how Shop at Home recognizes
revenue made shortly after its acquisition by Scripps, November results do not
include holiday and post-holiday activity as they did in the same period in
2002. Sales made on Thanksgiving Day and the final three days of November 2003
will be reflected in the December results.

Shop At Home was available to 45 million full-time equivalent households
during the month, about even with November 2002.
